True, but I guess those shirt will harvest energy from body heat the soldiers would have lost anyway and from movements the soldiers would have done anyway. This way, the shirt would only be recycling energy which would've been otherwise lost.
On the other hand, imagine if the battery somehow breaks starting to leak acid all over the guy's skin.
Come on, it's Italy after all. Do you really think this is going to pass? And should it pass, do you really believe anybody's going to actually enforce this law? Italians are comendians, and this comes from an Italian.
You know... I have to thank you for your patience and perseverance because I'm fed up of debunking fancy theories denying the link between manmade pollution and global warming.
Quick! Throw out those twenty-sided dice. That is the ultimate role playing tool!
Game master: Well done! You've struck the dragon for 455FE10422CA29C4933F95052B792AB2 hit points with your enchanted sword! Too bad it's awake now and spits acid at you all, inflicting 09F911029D74E35BD84156C5635688C0 hit points! You still get half the damage if you roll more than 784A3827BC4832A2982FE3223C009821 with the quantum dice!
In Italy, we use EVOO for frying because it isn't as expensive as it is in other countries. Plus, it doesn't degrade at high temperatures as other kinds of oils do, so it's healthier. I bet in Spain and in Greece they do the same.

I think just about all banks worldwide have now forgotten that it is YOUR money... Well, I intended it more as in, "when I lived there", but then you're right.

Ah! Memories... One of the best things England had was being able to get your money from ATM's free of charge. Too bad once more in Italy we decided to follow the US example.
I realise we should do something about pollution from aeroplanes but as long as companies don't revise their policies there's little to be done. A few months ago I took a plane which brought me to Brazil. I used to live in Milan, but it turned out that the cheapest option was flying to Lisbon, and from there taking a plane which was going back to Milan and then to São Paulo. Taking the same plane - and I mean not just same route but same flight number - in Milan skipping the Lisbon part was going to almost double the cost of the ticket. I even phoned the company telling them whether I could buy the ticket but then only check in in Milan but the confirmed it was impossible: I had to check in in Lisbon. So I had to buy a low-cost ticket to Lisbon, fly back to Milan after a few hours and from there reach São Paulo. It turned out I flown twice the distance from Milan to Lisbon for nothing more than saving ticket money. It's against any logic that I should fly more (and pollute more) to pay less.
Actually he should take the train to be even more environmentally friendly.
I did it, from London to Milan, and I spent about 3 times the money and 6 times the time I'd have spent if I'd flown. Not a good deal and I can't see why an aeroplane ticket can cost me as little as 20 (tax included) while I have to spend at least 200 to go by train. Aren't trains supposed to be able to carry more people, and to waste less fuel?
Enter my favorite short story "The Last Question." Never gets old for that last question. These Asimov's AC's are so old-fashioned. Nowadays everybody knows the answer is 42.
I want it never to be said that we didn't fight for life and living, right up until the end. I wonder who'd say it anyway. Probably the robots we built to help us colonize the galaxy that end up destroying us; while they laugh mechanically.
We never should have installed those irony upgrades. I for one welcome our new terraforming robot overlords!
I remember reading that many astrologers estimate that just a half a degree either way and we'd have much larger ice caps or a band of uninhabitable desert. Don't believe in what astrologers say. Everybody knows hand-reading is a much more accurate science.

Tiny as you wish, but sufficient to cause climatic changes detrimental to human society as we know it.
I'd suggest http://www.realclimate.org/ as a place where you could start getting informed.

Please mod parent up. I mistakenly modded it flamebait. It obviously isnt. Sorry, parent.
Gosh! Three years. I am humbled.
I met somebody really special on-line too about a year ago and she lives very very far too. Stories like yours make me hope!
Thanks for sharing.
